Metabolomics analysis of cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and chronic cervicitis by H-1 NMR spectroscopy

摘要

Metabolomics profiles of serum samples from women with chronic cervicitis, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CM), and cervical cancer were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ell NMR). These spectral profiles were subjected to partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and good discriminations between cancer and non-cancer groups (chronic cervicitis and CIN) were achieved by multivariate modeling of serum profiles. The main metabolites contributing to these discriminations, as highlighted by multivariate analysis and confirmed by spectral integration, were formate, tyrosine, beta-glucose, inositol, glycine, carnitine, glutamine, acetate, alanine, valine, isoleucine, and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Metabolomics analysis for chronic cervicitis, CIN, and cervical cancer is significant, which give a systemic metabolic response of these female diseases. The systemic metabolic response may be used to identify the potential biomarkers for the diseases.
